NFL Draft Rumors and Buzz: April 13, 2011

Below, you can find various tidbits of NFL Draft rumors and information offered by Mike Mayock, Michael Lombardi and the rest of the Path to the Draft crew on the NFL Network. I posted these in my forum, but I thought it would be better to keep all the draft rumors together in this section. I'll be tweeting these during Path to the Draft at @walterfootball.

Charley Casserly: Multiple teams have told me that they won't take Da'Quan Bowers in the first round. Some teams indicate a possible surgery in his future.

Michael Lombardi: I've had two teams (that need running backs) tell me Mark Ingram's knee is bad. He's not going to be on their board.

Charley Casserly: There are a lot of minor injuries on Anthony Castonzo. It's not a red light; it's a yellow light.

Charley Casserly: Cameron Heyward will be OK. The Tommy John surgery won't affect his status. He's a first-rounder.

Charley Casserly: I believe Stephen Paea's injury will affect his draft status. Could drop him a round.

Michael Lombardi: Some teams don't have Jabaal Sheard as high on their board because of his elbow injury.

Mike Mayock: Fully healthy, I have concern about whether or not Mark Ingram is a first-round pick because the depth of the draft.

Charley Casserly: I've talked to some teams, Mark Ingram is on their draft board.

Mike Mayock: Bruce Carter is a top-15 pick if healthy. Greg Romeus doesn't have the same work ethic and responsibility that Bruce Carter does.

Mike Mayock: Bruce Carter and Greg Romeus are going to miss some, if not all of the upcoming season.
